"I ask you, the Jews of the Diaspora, to do one thing. Stand up. Don't cower. Don't be afraid. Fight back. Because people will only respect us if we respect ourselves. When they level lies at us, throw back the truth, and do it standing up."
Benjamin Netanyahu's remarks were delivered at an international policy summit organized by the Jewish News Syndicate (JNS). He explicitly directed this portion of his message toward Jewish communities living outside of Israel, particularly focusing on American Jews and younger students experiencing hostility.
The Israeli Prime Minister has categorized the global surge in antisemitism as an active "eighth front" that Israel and the broader Jewish diaspora must combat together alongside physical military battlegrounds. "Historical shifts—such as civil rights movements—demonstrated that minority groups must actively defend their own dignity to earn external respect, urging the diaspora to wage an informational and digital war against delegitimization." he stated.
Israel considers itself deeply connected to the global Jewish diaspora and views their protection as a fundamental national interest. Mossad is acting as a blanket security force for Jewish communities worldwide.
